CETME L: Hill & Mac or MarColMar

This review of the CETME LC highlights its roller-delayed blowback action and ASMR-style demonstration of its mechanical sounds. The video showcases manual magazine loading with IMI Systems 5.56mm M193 ammunition and a live-fire test demonstrating recoil and rapid-fire capabilities. Key technical specifications include a 12.6-inch barrel and approximately 7.5 lbs weight.

This review covers the Marcolmar CETME L, a 5.56x45mm rifle built from unissued parts kits, offering historical accuracy and modern features like a Picatinny rail. It highlights the rifle's performance with Federal American Eagle ammunition, its unique side bolt hold-open, and practical tips for finish preservation. The Marcolmar build is compared favorably to older HMG versions, emphasizing attention to detail and authentic components.

The CETME LC (Corto/Short) is a carbine variant of the CETME L, featuring a shortened 12.6-inch barrel and a collapsing metal stock. Internal redesigns were necessary to accommodate the stock, moving the recoil spring forward into the receiver and adding mass to the bolt carrier. Despite these changes, it retains many standard CETME L components for manufacturing efficiency. The LC is only slightly lighter than the standard rifle due to the heavier metal stock.

This review details the two variants of the CETME LV, the designated marksman rifle based on the CETME L. It compares the Enosa version, featuring a 4x STANAG-mounted scope with a 100-1200m BDC, and the SUSAT version, used by the Marines with a dovetail mount and 300-800m BDC. Both optics offer different reticle styles and adjustment methods, highlighting distinct military procurement choices.

This video from The Gun Collective features Jon Patton at SHOT Show 2016 getting a close look at the HMG STG-44 replica from Hill & Mac Gunworks. The STG-44 is highlighted as one of the coolest replicas he's seen in a long time, showcasing the historical significance and modern manufacturing of this iconic firearm. The description includes multiple links to TGC's Patreon, Amazon shop, merchandise, and sponsors, along with social media links and business inquiries.

This video features Ben Canini and Dave Merrill from RECOIL at the Bullet Ranch in Ohio, showcasing full-auto versions of CETME L and LC rifles. Despite their less-than-ideal aesthetics, the video explores the 'personality' of these European-popular, stamped rifles, emphasizing the thrill of full-auto fire. The description also promotes the RecoilTV app across various streaming platforms and provides links to download it and watch more videos.

This video details the unique 'French Finger Trap' issue with the MAS-36 rifle's bayonet, where two rifles can become unintentionally locked together. A 1951 French arsenal memorandum identified this problem, proposing a simple modification to the bayonet handle. Drilling a small hole allows a tool, like a firing pin, to depress the internal spring, enabling the separation of locked rifles.

The M134 Minigun is a scaled-down 7.62 NATO rotary cannon, requiring 24V DC power and consuming 1.5 kW. Its high rate of fire (3,000+ RPM) is essential for aircraft engagement windows. The complex delinker mechanism is critical for feeding ammunition, and practical hand-held use is impossible due to weight and recoil. Live fire demonstrates rapid ammunition consumption and the need for indirect aiming.

The H&K G11 is a revolutionary prototype assault rifle designed in the late 20th century, notable for its caseless ammunition and unique rotating drum bolt mechanism. Despite advanced features like a 2000 RPM burst fire rate and integrated optics, its development was ultimately halted by geopolitical shifts and cost concerns.

This video demonstrates the assembly and live-fire of the German 1936 pattern light mortar (L.Gr.W.36). It highlights the mortar's leveling mechanism for accuracy and the difficulty in visually tracking its 50mm projectiles after firing. The content showcases historical military hardware and its operational use.
